THE RESIDENCE

Ocean-facing and perched on the edge of the first fairway of the stunning Francis H. I’i Brown South Course, this Big Island vacation home is reminiscent of a private tropical resort. With features that include a detached guest ohana, a private front courtyard, an infinity-edge pool with waterfall spa and an optional outdoor privacy garden and shower, this place will allow you to get lost in your own private oasis.

Almost twice as large as all the other Hawaiian Islands combined, the Big Island earned its name! In addition to being the largest island, it is also the youngest and most ecologically diverse. Ten different climate zones are found on there, from Polar Tundra to Wet Tropical. From the most active volcanoes in the world, to unique black-sand beaches, to incredibly lush flora and dramatic waterfalls… the Big Island is a nature-lover’s dream.

… IT REALLY IS THE “BIG” ISLAND!

Big Island is rich in history, culture, natural beauty and thrilling adventures. From the resorts of the Kohala Coast, to the adventures of Kona, to the sleepy Hilo region, a plethora of terrain awaits you. The sheer size of the island is awe-inspiring, and it’ll take some time to explore its stunning landscapes. We assure you, the trip will be well worth it! History is deeply ingrained everywhere you look—from Kealakekua Bay, Captain Cook’s landing site, to the Waipio Valley, home to many Hawaiian kings up until the 18th century. Perhaps the starkest feature on the island is snow-capped Mauna Kea, a profound contrast to its neighbor—fiery Mauna Loa. This fire and ice contrast is an accurate depiction of the wide variety of landscapes found across the Big Island.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Two of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, are still adding to the Big Island today. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was created to preserve the natural setting of these volcanoes and display the result of more than 70 years of volcanic activity. Research by scientists within the park has made these volcanoes some of the best understood in the world.

FAMOUS LINKS

Play a Round (or Two) in Your Backyard

World-class golf lies in your backyard at Mauna Lani Resort. The South Course winds through a prehistoric lava flow and features one of the most photographic over-water holes in the world. The North Course is the hallmark Hawaii golf experience. These courses has quickly become some of the most popular tournament hosts on the Hawaiian Islands.

NATURE’S SPLENDOR

Celebrate Turtle Independence Day

For decades, the Mauna Lani Resort has received young green sea turtles from Oahu’s Sea Life Park. They are raised in the resort’s saltwater ponds until they are ready for release into the wild. Release occurs at the ocean’s edge every July 4th. A fun Independence Day party follows the release, and families are encouraged to join the celebration!

“The Big Island offered big fun—we brought four friends and had a truly memorable time in paradise! The house is exquisite and perfectly outfitted. A+ in all respects. Sitting by the pool on Hole 1 of the golf course with a distant view of the Pacific Ocean was heaven. Our concierge arranged for a private chef who prepared a farm-to-table feast for our group. It was probably one of the best meals of my life. The local host handled everything from reserving tee times to securing the best tables for us. We visited the surrounding resorts, and none were tempting—the Equity Estates residence is better than any hotel! A hui hou, Big Island (until we meet again)!” – Equity Estates Investor
